They’re easy to breed, cheap to produce, full of protein, and tread lightly on the earth – so why don’t we copy 80% of the world’s population and eat more insects?

Come to a place where crickets, mealworms, spiders and scorpions compete for your shopping dollar.

Getting edible insects onto the supermarket shelves of the developed world is one of the great marketing challenges facing the United Nations.

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation, the FAO has been promoting and funding bug eating for ten years – just in the last couple of months they released an e-book on the subject and an information guide extolling the role of insects in food security, livelihoods and the environment.

A fly factory that transforms blood, guts, manure and food waste into animal feed has just won a $100k UN-backed innovation prize.

So what will it take for you to bypass the meat section and head down the dried grasshopper and spider aisle?
